As a producer of goods, the closer you are to the raw materials, the more direct the value trade. Using Bitcoin really shines when that's the case.
Ceramics is the best example of this. At its core, it is dug up earth that's been formed into a usable shape that's fired for durability. The raw material can be sourced by any person (wild clay) and the production process yields many types of useful items that can be trade with others for value. Since you can obtain the raw material yourself, you don't experience fiat erosion.
As opposed to another craft, let's say, 3d printing. The maker is quite far from the raw materials of not just the item itself but the tools as well. Sure you can make money from the wares you make and sell but it is inescapable, at this point in time, to not have to convert some of those Bitcoin into fiat to maintain equipment and buy new material.
with that said, knitting wool hats, socks and blankets, puts me in kind of the middle. Not quite as direct farming or ceramics, but not as indirect as resin casting. Now if only I could raise some sheep and get my own wool processing facility up and running. a gal can dream 🤩
